(Gore Vidal on Truman Capote's Death),'Wagner's music is better than it sounds.' (Mark Twain)
"'I never forget a face, but in your case I'll be willing to make the exception' Groucho Marx 'I married beneath me - all women do.' (Nancy Astor) 'Good career move.' (Gore Vidal on Truman Capote's Death) 'Wagner's music is better than it sounds.' (Mark Twain)"
